I.- FOUNDATION OF THE PROPOSAL
Our comprehensive course is the most complete and intensive option to beginning training in the field of Photography, focusing mainly on learning digital techniques, but always emphasizing the stimulation and creativity of the student to produce images with a personal brand.
II.- STUDENT PROFILE
The course is designed for beginners and amateurs who want to take their first steps in the world of photography, to master the technique based on the understanding of the photographic language and its expression through the production of the image.
As an excellent professional complement, the aim is to encourage the student to undertake a personal aesthetic search based on a solid handling of the camera, combining technique and art, in a dynamic, participatory and practice-focused environment.
III. OBJECTIVES
During the course you will learn everything related to the handling and operation of the camera, the variables that intervene when taking a photograph: diaphragm, shutter speed, sensor sensitivity, and how these variables interact and combine. The light and its properties. Different types of lighting. Creative use of light. Photometry. Types of lenses, filters, color and camera flash. Basic concepts for image correction (color, saturation, contrast, brightness). We will also combine the techniques mentioned above with composition and framing instructions, for each attendee to find their creative profile and to be able to enhance it by using their camera.
IV.- METHODOLOGY
The classes proposed are theoretical-practical, to facilitate learning and promote student participation. The concepts acquired are put into practice and analyzed in class. During the course, there will be photographic outings with the tutoring of the teacher. Students will be provided exercises and assignments that will help them acquire new knowledge in a practical and comprehensive way. Focusing on the photographer’s gaze, the creative process and personal exploration, seeking the creation of images that highlight each student’s personality and touch.
The first part of the classes following the outings will be dedicated to criticizing the images produced together. Each student will select 5 images to be discussed by the group.
